This demonstrates another slight variation in illusion knitting. The background colour at the top is different from the background at the bottom. It is still a very easy piece to knit.

The final two photos show what you see when you look straight at the front and back of the blanket.

This can be made in any yarn. Using DK it measures about 81 cm x 104 cm (32” x 44”)
